Does Accutane make period cramps worse?

Question

I’m a 19 year old female currently on Accutane. It has been almost a week and I just got my period. Whenever I have my period I never get cramps except for stomach cramps. And now that I am on it my cramps are so bad.

Thank you for your question.Any possible side effects or new symptoms after starting a medication should be brought to the attention of the prescribing physician. Isotretinoin could be the culprit of your symptoms, but can also be a sign of something else going on in the body. I highly recommend you consult with your prescribing dermatologist and consult with your OBGYN regarding the menstrual cramping. Take care and good luck.
